About Catherine
Catherine Kluge is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, and the daily problems that get in the way of wellbeing. She brings 25 years of experience to sessions and values treating people with dignity and respect. Catherine aims to meet clients where they are and support practical steps toward clearer functioning.
She trained at Webster University and has worked in settings that include a private hospital, a community mental health center, and a substance use treatment program. That variety shaped her view that most people want to move toward better outcomes when they are heard and treated fairly.
Catherine uses a client-centered stance that keeps the person in charge of the process. She also draws on cognitive behavioral methods to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviors. Motivational interviewing and narrative therapy are other tools she uses to strengthen motivation and reframe personal stories.
Typical concerns she addresses include anxiety, panic-related problems, depression, substance use, grief, parenting strain, relationship conflict, and workplace stress. She also supports people facing mood disorders, ADHD, and co-occurring issues where more than one difficulty is present.
In sessions she focuses on practical strategies, clear goals, and small steps that fit daily life. Catherine emphasizes collaboration and will work with each person to find approaches that match their needs and priorities.
How her approach translates to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. The therapist creates space for people to tell their story and helps them decide what goals matter most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and actions affect feelings and offers simple exercises to change patterns that keep problems going. Mindfulness Therapy teaches noticing thoughts and sensations so people can respond rather than react, which can be useful for anxiety and panic.Figuring out the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Catherine will work together with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. That partnership guides which techniques are used and how sessions progress over time.
Session formats should be confirmed before booking since specific options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find virtual sessions help them practice skills in the settings where problems arise, and the therapist will help adapt exercises so they work in everyday routines.
